Ge Huiyun is also a person who prefers to enjoy life. If she likes something and her salary can afford it, she will buy it immediately without hesitation.
So when Tian Tian bought them a TV, Ge Huiyun would not say anything but would be happy instead.
But Lin Meiyu is different. After all, they were farmers before and earned little money throughout the year, so their consumption concept is to save money if you have it and be reluctant to spend it. This is why Tian Tian is so embarrassed about the issue of a TV.
Otherwise, she actually didn't want to go through the trouble of sending the TV on the train, and then they would go to pick up the TV. She could just give the money and the TV ticket to Lin Meiyu, and they could buy it themselves. But Lin Meiyu and her family were reluctant to spend the money, so Tian Tian had no choice but to resort to this method.
"My mom means that even though your mom's family already has one, don't you still have an uncle and an aunt? They have a pretty good relationship with your family, so it's the same if you put the TV in their house. Otherwise, if you lose it, it would be a pity, just like you said."
When Tian Tian heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These were the same words she used to persuade her parents.
"Well, it's fine to send it over. I have to send a TV to my parents tomorrow anyway, so I can just send it over together. But I guess I'll call my mom to tell her about this, and she'll get scolded again."
Tian Tian could already guess what her mother would say. It would undoubtedly be a waste to have two TVs. The electricity bill for watching TV would be quite high and it was not necessary.
"It's okay. I'll tell your mother about it when the time comes. It's just that I feel a little sorry for her. Our family and hers all have new TVs, but your mother and her family have to use the one we discarded. I feel really bad about it." Gu Zhao said.
Tian Tian quickly shook her head, "This has nothing to do with you. Although this TV was used by our family, we only bought it two years ago. I bought it when I was pregnant with An An, and I haven't watched it many times."
"Then let's buy a TV and send it directly to your house, right? Anyway, the TV has been bought and cannot be returned. Your mother will be angry and there will be nothing she can do."
Tian Tian shook her head, "No! My mom is fine, the problem is my grandma. I'm afraid she'll be angry. She's so old, and she'll be really upset."
The main thing is that if she really bought such a big thing back home, her mother would definitely be furious. When she bought the radio home before, Lin Meiyu and Old Lady Tian were angry with Tian Tian for a long time, and they even had to pay for it out of their own pockets.
Anyway, Tian Tian had a feeling that after she married into the Gu family, she really had nothing to do with the Tian family. It was as if all the money she spent came from the Gu family, not earned by Tian Tian herself.
Although Tian Tian understood their thoughts and disagreed with them in her heart, she did not want to make them angry. After all, Old Mrs. Tian was old now. Even if she might think Tian Tian was filial in the future, it was still scary to be angry at that moment.
Tian Tian was also worried that when she got angry, Mrs. Tian might feel unwell.
Tian Tian looked at the TV helplessly. She thought that she would be scolded again when she called Lin Meiyu later. As expected, when Tian Tian called Lin Meiyu, she was scolded again.
Lin Meiyu was not angry because Tian Tian bought a TV for the old lady's family, but she was angry that Tian Tian spent money recklessly. Even though Lin Meiyu was living in the countryside now, she knew that the current situation was not good.
Especially Tian Tian and Gu Zhao, they all work in state-owned units.
When Tian Mu returned home, he said that many state-owned units had now closed down, and the workers were out of work. The social atmosphere was not very good, and those who could not make ends meet had to resort to petty theft in order to survive. Now many of their homes had been robbed.
Lin Meiyu was also worried that if Tian Tian's factory closed down, Tian Tian would not be able to find a job, and they would not have any savings. How would they survive? Tian Tian was happy and a little sad when she heard what Old Lady Tian and Lin Meiyu said.
I'm glad that Lin Meiyu was angry because she felt sorry for her. Even though Tian Tian is a mother now, Lin Meiyu still cares about her.
Tian Tian felt sorry for Lin Meiyu because she had never lived for herself all these years. Now Chen Guihua has moved on, but Lin Meiyu is still there.
Sometimes Tian Tian wanted Lin Meiyu to be nicer to her, but after saying everything she could, even after talking so much, Lin Meiyu was still the same as before.
So Tian Tian now has no idea what to do with Lin Meiyu. Every time she goes home, she brings back a lot of things and throws away Lin Meiyu's clothes that are already very old but she is reluctant to throw away. Although in the end, Lin Meiyu picks them up, washes them, and gives them to others.
But I have to say that this is also a kind of growth. However, if Lin Meiyu wants to change such a big item, it will take some time for her to accept it all at once.
However, Tian Tian and her friends had already bought the things, and Lin Meiyu had no way to ask Tian Tian to return the TV. However, she still asked Tian Tian if she could sell the two old TVs. Then Tian Tian accepted the money.
Tian Tian said with a smile, no.
Lin Meiyu didn't get much information from Chengcuner, so she had concerns, which Tian Tian could understand. However, Tian Tian herself lived in the factory and knew that their factory was profitable. At least in the short term, they would not let them be unemployed.
She also told Lin Meiyu this, but Lin Meiyu didn't believe it, and Tian Tian had no choice.
But it is definitely impossible to expect Tian Tian to live like Lin Meiyu.
Tian Tian always felt that life was unpredictable. Who knows what might happen tomorrow. If she kept saving the money and waiting for something to really happen, she would have nothing to spend and it would be a complete waste.
Moreover, when she spends money now, she doesn't squander it all at once. She still spends it within a very reasonable range, which neither makes her life too hard nor allows her to save some money.
After all, even if life is better now, it’s not that much better.
Most things are still relatively cheap, but they still require tickets. If you don’t have a ticket, you can’t buy anything even if you want to. It will take several years before the ticket reform is implemented.
